I'm gonna take Over and Denver +3 to try and finish the night 6-0

Denver only need 44 for a split here...They appear to be playing their best game of the season...

I took Detroit -3.5 +100

Should've waited for the steam so I could've had them for much better.

I see Pistons keeping this close down the stretch. Detroit played almost no defense 1H which can be expected adjusting to play without Ben. Now they will make adjustments. Defense gets you back into games and prevents blowouts. Sometimes it takes teams a game or two to adjust to a missing player, but these guys are the champs right?

Denver may also get into some foul trouble although it's spread out (Martin with 3, almost everyone else with 2).

Too late to help J-man, but I played :

over 90.5 +101

Det -3.5 +106


Earlier bets were ( for game)

Denver +2.5 +107

Det pick -105


I can't lose a 1 or 2 point victory by either team wins, 1 or 2 by Detroit wins everything ( except maybe total), and OT is good ( assures over, keeps middles alive). It's a complicated series of bets which started last night. I think I figured it right.

Good luck Doug...I took what i felt was the safe route, only needing 44 from Denver to gain atleast a split...

Detroit keeps pulling within 4-5 points then multiple consecutive turnovers. They have 17 turnovers now. Just the points off turnovers alone differential and Detroit would be winning (excluding everything else).

Oh well, maybe a late run. Can't win em all. :)

Make that 21 turnovers through 3 Quarters, 28-pts off turnovers for Denver.

Not that it matters, but the fix is on in Denver. When the annoucers start complaining about no calls for the team that is ahead by 15-pts (3rd time through 3Q's, you know it's bad).

Game is likely out of reach anyways barring total Denver collapse. Washington did let Orlando go on a 19-0 run last night up by 15 at home.

I guess I shouldn't have hedged out of this one. Detroit looked like they were going to come back late in Q2. I should have done what's been working for me... taking the ML dog at half for a big + price.
 

Oh boy!

I took the over 90.5 here for the same reason you did, because Denver was doing so well. I was thinking the books were making the line according to past games.

Also, I notice a lot of steam on the over 90.5 @ -121. Shortly before that it was at -108. Anyone play the quick steam on 2nd half totals?
